Sleeper Sofas

Sleeper sofa sizes and room fit

A sleeper sofa needs room for two footprints: the sofa itself and the bed once it opens. Widths here run 47.2 to 135.4 inches and depths 29.3 to 124 inches, and on pull-out and fold-down designs the open bed reaches well past the seat.

Measure the room with the bed open, leave a walkway of around 2 feet on at least one side so a guest can get in and out, and plan where the coffee table goes when the bed is in use.

Queen sleeper sofa and king sizes

A queen sleeper sofa opens to a sleeping surface about as wide as a queen bed, which suits two adults, and select models here open to a king size. Smaller sleeper sofas and sleeper loveseats suit one guest or a child.

Where a listing states the sleeping size, compare it with the sheets you own and the guests you expect.

Sectional sleeper sofa layouts

A sectional sleeper sofa combines corner seating with a bed, usually by pulling out a section or opening up the seat. Some models here are L-shaped or U-shaped, some are modular, and some add storage, a chaise or an ottoman.

Select models add USB charging or cup holders, and some recline, including power reclining models.

Most comfortable sleeper sofa features

The most comfortable sleeper sofa handles two jobs: a seat supportive enough for daily sitting and a sleeping surface without bars or deep gaps. Look at the cushion fill, how flat the open bed lies and how easily it opens.

A mattress topper adds comfort for guests who stay more than a night or two.

Sofa bed fabrics and frames

Sofa bed upholstery here includes corduroy, velvet, chenille, boucle, linen, sherpa and vegan leather. Gray, green and black are the most common colors.

Most models list a metal frame, and some add solid wood parts or plywood panels. Select models need no assembly. Vacuum fabric with an upholstery attachment, and follow the care label for spills.
